I have been working a couple old 80286 motherboards where the Varta battery has leaked and caused some corrosion on the motherboard. I am using some white vinegar to neutralize the battery corrosion and then cleaning with water and isopropyl alchohol. I have done this a few times and it has worked for me in the past. But this time I think the level of corrosion is more than I have seen before. After a couple of cleanings I still see some aquamarine color on the traces on the motherboard. I clean it again and after it dries I still see some aquamarine color on the board. What should I be looking for? Should it be black? Is the aquamarine color evidence of more corrosion that needs to be removed? I think so, but I am not very experienced yet in doing this type of cleaning? How far should I go? Keep cleaning until the aquamarine color is gone?
Thanks for your opinion and help.
